Have you ever given much thought to your leather products or where your delicious steak and burgers come from? To be honest, I hadn’t given it much thought until a couple days ago. Some good friends of mine are ranchers and I had the honor of spending the day with them as they tended to their herd. This was such an incredible and eye opening experience. It was absolutely fascinating to watch my friends in action. It was like watching a bovine ballet. They were so in tune to each other and their cattle. They never missed a beat! Even their darling daughters were in sync with what was going and they make the cutest two supervisors you’ll ever meet! I left that day filled with gratitude for my friends and marveled over how great God is. I also came away with a newfound appreciation for the entire ranching community. Next time you see a rancher, hug them or at least thank them!

This photo is my favorite of my time on the ranch.  This epitomizes their life, their livelihood, and is one of the many reasons I admire them.
